Well... I am here to post an update. I am on my 4th unit since my original purchase in July, 2024. It came with a one year warrenty. I do have to say that the customer service is outstanding. I email them the issue, send them a short video showing the issue, send them a pic of the serial...

I have been using a Smonet CR6 Pro I purchased off Amazon. After downloading the "app", you can set it to wall only, floor only or wall and floor by simplying pressing the on/off button multiple times to select which mode you want before dropping it in the pool. I don't really need it to scrub...

After a year of replacing practically every part in my Polaris Quattro P40 with little to minimal improvement, (and even after an in-warranty rebuild) I finally decided to try something different. I read & watched countless reviews and finally decided to give the SMONET CR6 Pro a try. I...

Thank you so much for posting this video. I too purchased the Maytronics Dolphin E30 from Marina. I noticed when I first got it that it sure didn't run very long, but I guess I wasn't paying that close attention until I finally realized it was only running 15 minutes at a time, and then I...

Awesome! Will do, thanks!

Got it 95% drained over night with a little help from my neighbor's submersible pump. Starting the refill. Is there anything I need to test or do while it is refilling?

Thank you!!! I am going to get a pump and drain it completely! Thanks again!

Yes, I did it as described and multiplied it by two the first time, but still got an unregisterable result. That is why I did the dilution test with 1/3 pool water to 2/3 tap water. Just a little more dilution, and then multiplied by three, to try to get a result that would register on the CYA...

I did the dilution test using 1/3 pool water 2/3 tap water. It registered at about 120 CYA, multiplied by three = 360. ??? Should I go rent a pump to remove more water? I hate to fill, then have to empty again.

My pool water sample is 70 degrees. The pool has stopped draining naturally.

I did the dilution test as you described above and got the same result! I will have to buy or go rent a pump to drain more water.

It is down to 6700 gallons. Is that not close enough? The amount of pool water/R-0013 I put in the CYA Viewing Tube until I can no longer see the dot on the bottom does not even reach the lowest line on the tube (100 reading). It is half way from the bottom of the tube to the 100.

16,000 gallon pool is down to about 6,700 gallons. CYA level in the CYA View Tube is about half way from bottom of tube up to the 100 reading. Drain more water or is this enough water drained?

I pulled the plugs on the pump which is continuing the drain. So I should be pretty empty in another day or two. Will report back. Thank ya'll so much for your help & support!

Hello again, I had posted back in December, 2020 that my husband had passed in July and I was taking over the pool maintenance. It had high CYA and I was advised to drain and start over. The task seemed a bit daunting and I put off the draining. But thanks to the snow, ice and sub freezing...

I believe I have a valve on my pool as well, but it is only garden hose size. I will do more investigating tomorrow and report back. Thanks for the idea!

Awesome, thanks... will get it done!

I don't have a lot of chems on hand. I just have one gallon of liquid chlorine and a bucket of the evil chlorine tablets that I will use as shooting skeet! I will need to get more liquid chlorine, muriatic acid and the CYA stabilizer.

Oh WOW... good to know. I will look into either buying or renting a pump. Thanks for the reality check!

Thanks but I am trying to stay as cheap as possible. Sounds easy enough, just gotta be brave! Now that I have a handle on the numbers and a plan of attack, I was planning on waiting until after New Year's to do the drain. I will keep up with the FC, but do I have to worry about PH if I plan...

WOW... only four hours for 60% drain. That is great. Thanks for the links, I will check them out. Wonder how long just a double or triple garden hose siphon will take?

OK, I think I will attempt the drain myself! I live in very sandy soil and have a great hill behind the pool where it will drain down into the ground and to the lake. I will do the old garden hose siphon method. I will make sure I turn the breaker off to all equipment. I contacted my...

Fortunately I live in the country on 30 acres so I will just be letting the water run off down the hill thru the hay field and into the lake. Do you think I have to do a full drain? What if my water is high calcium, will this hurt the grass? Can I undertake this draining thing myself??? Can...

I am recently widowed and am attempting to take over the maintenance of our pool. I am realizing that my husband was probably just eye balling things and had let the chemistry get way out of wack. So now I am left to rectify the problem. I purchased the TF-100 Kit and have read thru the pool...
